“A History of the failure of the News: What 1767 Tells Us About 2010”-Eric Newton- Senior adviser to the president of the John S. and James L. Knight FoundationMr. Newton is a thought leader. Tonight, he talked to us about his 3 decades of experience in the journalism field. He spent time talking to us about what news is going to be like in 10 years. Right now, we are a part of the digital age; nobody knows what is going to come of it. There are undiscovered patterns in the history of news. Every generation grows up with different forms of news media. The digital age is a new age. The other ages include visual, language, and mass media. The World Wide Web concurred in 1991. This is the movement that sparked the digital age. “We tend to use what we know to guess what is going to happen over time.” Science fiction writers are dreaming of things others can’t quite calculate. Times are changing. Every American generation has come up with a different form of media. Different generations include: Compromise, Transcendental, Gilded, and Progressive. The Associated Press and the telegraph went along with the Progressive generation. About every 80 years, there has been a crisis and a “Great Awakening.” We had the American Revolution, the Civil War, and World War II. More recent generations include: Boom, Gen X. Millennial, and Cyber. The Cyber Generation includes mobile and social media. World War 3.0 is the war in the digital age. Government declared last year that cyber space is like war. There have been many reported cyber-attacks from countries such as China and Iran. Wars can cause unity and new institutions. Future generations include: Visionary, Hybrid, Courageous, and Enlightened. With the Visionary Generation will be the rise of intelligent media. This may include things such as smart grids, robotics, and artificial intelligence. In time you will be able to experience anything that has happened; even if you weren’t there, with the help of news-bots. The Hybrid Generation will include the rise of bio media. Bio Media includes an augmented reality and nanotechnology. The Courageous Generation includes hyper media. World War 4.0 is the war against non-humans. “Today we are just scratching the surface of the digital age.”

Eric Newton’s Must See Monday presentation on the future of journalism was very interesting and very important. Newton took us through the history of journalism from 1767 through 2110. He discussed the field from its pamphlet beginnings all the way through its present state of mobile and social media. He then went on to discuss future ideas of intelligent, hybrid, hyper, and omni media. He related all the different types of technology and world events that shape each media generation, pointing out that about every eighty years there is a crisis and awakening that generates a new generation of media. Newton emphasized how journalists must engage in technology and also understand that today’s technology is only the very surface of the digital age as a whole. And with new technology comes new ways to do things and new rules, therefore, Newton encourages that we rewrite the codes of ethics. Newton’s other main point was that the future is the product of crazy thinking. He gave many examples of how current technologies are the product of science fiction writers from years ago. We cannot think based on what we currently know, for this is assuming time is linear when it is in fact multi-dimensional. So in closing, Eric Newton asks us to “think crazy, off-the-planet crazy” and embrace the ever-changing world of journalism for the better.

Although the sci-fi genre has long remained in the form of fiction, it has recently taken a turn to being a predictor of the future. As presented by Eric Newton at this week’s Must See Monday, technology has risen exponentially over the last half of the century. This increase in technological advancement has led to outcomes that, as Newton pointed out, have drawn parallels to the fictitious inventions found in sci-fi films and writings. Though Newton’s explanations seemed outlandish at first, they became logical as he efficiently pointed out and explained the similarities found between science fiction and reality. While I am still unsure as to whether or not humanity will ever reach the period of new enlightenment, or Omni Media, I do agree with Newton on the terms that today’s youth will be the leaders of not only journalism but also society. Even though this cyclical nature of society has always been in place, today’s technology has put the field of journalism in a unique and opportunistic position for younger generations to redefine the ideals of journalism. Taking the advice of Newton, as leaders of tomorrow’s news, today’s journalists need to start thinking outside the box and work with traditionalists to efficiently update journalism and put it in a position for a successful future.

The take home from this Must See Monday was:A reporter’s humanity is a strength, not a weakness. Both Ina Jaffe and Victor Merina gave numerous examples where retaining a sense of respect for subjects was instrumental to not only ethical reporting but to actually getting the story. Merina said that traumatized individuals and communities loathe “parachute reporting.” Communities tend to shut out or become hostile to reporters they perceive as being fixated on getting their “golden quote” or eight second sound bite. He urged journalists to take their time and observe the situation. By doing so, a journalist builds context and begins to gain the trust of a potentially hostile community.As I am currently enrolled in Tim McGuire’s ethics class this entire discussion sounded very familiar. I heard elements of the “golden rule” mixed with the importance of weighing truth telling against minimizing harm. I would say that Jaffe and Merina went a step forward when they agreed that a journalist’s coverage of a crisis should never make it worse. Beyond the importance of reporting ethically lay a very practical reason for acting properly. Jaffe said that it is better to get one good thing from a willing subject than forcing junk from a group of unwilling subject. Their advice may have sounded like common sense but I think it is important enough to warrant repeating:1. Take your time to get the story. Even if it takes five minutes longer, it is good journalism to wait and get the complete picture.2. Show respect.3. Minimize harm.

After checking out a few of the blog posts on your site, I honestly like your way of writing a blog. I book marked it to my bookmark site list and will be checking back soon. Please visit my website too and let me know your opinion.

Tonight’s movie was “The Pelican Brief” which starred Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington. Julia Roberts plays Darby Shaw, who write a brief pinning the murders of two Supreme Court justices on the White House. Gray Grantham, a reporter for the Washington Herald, helps Darby in her search for justice–and for her own safety, since she is constantly under attack. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie because the plot was very interesting and the movie was full of suspense, which I love. I also really liked how the movie started out because I was shocked as to why these justices were being murdered, but as the movie progressed it revealed important details about the case. From a journalistic perspective, I thought this movie showcased top-notch investigative journalism from both Darby and Gray. They never gave up their mission to unveil the truth, even in the midst of eminent danger, and that is what makes a truly successful and determined investigative journalist.

Tonight’s Must See Monday really made me think. First of all, Eric Newton was an amazing speaker, and inspired me with his expertise in the field we all wish to enter. He was easy to relate to, humorous, and had many interesting ideas to bring to the table about the future of journalism and mass communication. The chart that he displayed broke down everything about the past, present, and future of the advances we have made in communication. The point he made about the future of anything really simply being a person’s crazy idea was very true! All the movie references were helpful in understanding just how crazy he was talking. Like how we got the idea for cell phones from Star Trek and how the Matrix may tell the future about man vs. robots or artificial intelligences. It can be a little scary to think about what the world is coming to. I don’t want the human race to lose track of what really matters- finding and exposing the truth and giving a voice to the voiceless. All the new technological advances that are sure to come hopefully won’t distract and interfere too much with all the ethics and values that journalists attempt to uphold.In order to describe what I think the future is coming to, I’ll use the words of Mr. Newton, “Not just out of the box crazy, off the planet crazy.”

Tonight’s Must-See Monday was about “A History of the Future of News: What 1767 Tells Us About 2110”. To be honest, through half of the presentation by Eric Newton, an executive at the Knight Foundation of Miami, I was absolutely mind-boggled. Questions such as “We are enduring a World War 3.0?” or “Robots are going to possess our brains?” swirled through my brain like a nightmare. I could tell on by the facial reactions that an abundant amount of other attendees were also quite startled by the predictions of Mr. Newton. Nevertheless, once you started hearing about the statistics and remember the fact that history repeats itself, his predictions began rising above the fog of confusion. I always thought that the technology of our century would be quite amazing, crossing many frontiers, but I never imagined that in the next 100 years we might actually be talking through Nano technology implanted in our brains! After seeing the image of the movie “I-Robot” I remembered why I dislike super technological devices and hope that the human race does not become too dependent on them because then that would be when humans would cease to exist. It takes quite an extraordinaire to think of these absurd ideas of technology ruling the future, but Einstein was extraordinaire and look where he is now in history.

Tonight I listened to Eric Newton give his presentation on “A history of the future of news: What 1767 tells us about 2110” Eric Newton is a seasoned and hardworking journalist and is currently the senior advisor to the president of the Knight foundation. During his presentation he outlined some various points including stating that no one knows how the future will turn out, science fiction is doing the best job of depicting the future, and every generation grows up with a different common type of media. Newton talked a lot about the Evolution of Human Communication. Starting with the visual age during 1-2M BC and going all the way through to the 90’s and today with the digital age. Newton noted that communications is on an exponential rise and that we predict the future based on what we know now. He also cited some obvious examples of science fiction depicting the future with Skype on the Jetsons, cell phones on Star Trek, and the iPad on A Space Odyssey. Newton opened my eyes to the fact that each generation comes of age as a different news medium is rising with awakenings and crises occurring every 80 years. This timeline is extremely consistent. I loved his thoughts on the future of digital media and it opened my eyes to many things that were slightly obvious yet I did not realize. I really appreciated this presentation.

I really enjoyed this post. You get at something very amusing and rather benign in English literary studies in the U.S., at least in comparison to what occurs with the study of literatures in Spanish in the U.S., especially in environments where there are many Latinos. The issue of native authority is racialized in Spanish, and students commonly expect their professors to be “natives” of Mexico or South America or Spain. It is natural, to a certain degree, that students should feel alienated or at least confused when confronted with an outsider who claims to speak to their identity and culture. One way of dealing, as a faculty member, is obsessing over one’s command of Spanish, since that linguistic ability becomes an index of one’s ability to gain acceptance.
